Chemical tests

I see Rockville High School as Panopticon because in school kids are disciplined and controlled by administrator, teacher, and, security guards. Teachers teach kids how to act and behave. If kids don’t listen or behave the teacher want them to then kids are sent to administrator office. Administrator suspends these kids or separates that kid from the class even if they are good kid. Administrator does this put fear in kids heart, so they will think twice before going against the school morals.…

this be on the test?” The words uttered so often by students in the classroom. A curious student wondering if they actually need to take notes. But why should the student only care to learn what is on the test. Isn’t the whole point of education to learn? What has our education system become if students no longer care to learn for the sake of learning? You might say that students must take tests in order to see where there are. But even with this, why do all student take the same test. Albert…

timed by 25, 20, and 10 minute intervals. What if a student reads slowly and cannot finish the reading section in 25 minutes? What if a student has trouble figuring out a math problem and does not have enough time to finish it? What if a student’s test anxiety interferes with his or her progress? Their scores are affected by these problems and could potentially have a lower score than expected. This number is supposed to prove their knowledge and skill to a college that they wish to attend. That…

No it should not be taught because kids get taught this useless information and when they get into the real world they have no clue what to do like pay taxes or get a mortgage if they could afford it but the use their minds math that won't even help them and most of the time they are struggling in algebra instead i believe that when you get out of high school you can go to college and take classes for algebra if you choose instead of it taking up space for teachers to show their students on…

my teachers being very against standardized testing. They told us that standardized testing doesn’t fairly evaluate our knowledge, they only evaluate what we can put on paper. Again, I didn’t question it. The fact that my teachers didn’t like the tests just meant I wouldn’t have to take any extra exams. Being that I didn’t have much knowledge about the act I had to rely solely on internet research. I found that most of the research I could get my hands on seemed…

sick and tired of taking a test that really has no point towards improving your life skills? Standardized testing only undermines your educational opportunities: by wasting valuable learning time and answering random questions, only so you can earn a point towards educational measurements. As a former high school student, I understand the frustration of the parents upset at their children not progressing. According to the website procon.com, these standardized tests have been proven…

standardized tests? This is, infact, true. Most seventh graders do spend 23.3 hours testing, or more! The government should cut down on standardized tests. This is shown in the seventh graders hours alone. Students should have little to no standardized tests. This essay will describe how and why standardized tests should be modified because the tests are low quality, they take away class time, and the tests much pressure adding on to them. First, this paragraph will describe why the tests are…

Judging a book by it's cover, or comparing someone's education by one certain criteria, I believe is a mistake. We are all different, individuals have various strengths and weaknesses. Many people enjoy book smarts and good test taking skills, while others are more suitable in common sense and decision making situations. Kohn's example, in his opening paragraph concerning his ex-wife shows a great illustration of this. I agree with Kohn that we can't attempt to fit the masses into a single…

The two authors that approach the topic of singletons vs. children with siblings in a similar way are Sandler and Mancillas. Both Mancillas and Sandler's purpose of writing their articles was to provide the general public with more information about singletons and the stereotypes that singletons face vs. children with siblings. It is clear from the titles of the articles; The Only Child: Debunking the Myths and Challenging the Stereotypes About only Children, that the literature review by…

The results I got for this experiment was that the amount of trigrams remembered in the control was higher than the experimental. The reason for this was that the experimental group waited 15 seconds before writing the trigrams, and the control group didn’t which affected a lower result for the experimental group showed in the graph. There is also a decrease between the experimental and control median by two points. The study used to attempt to replicate was the experiment conducted by…
